For anybody that’s really interested in all this shoe business nerd talk, grab yourself Shoe Dog by Phil Knight for Christmas and give it a read. I highly recommend it. Lots of insight into the beginnings of Nike and how they came to be such a dominant company.

Wit collabs, it's essentially Coke vs. Pepsi. Everybody in the world knows their brands, but yet, both still advertise. And it's only because they know the other will advertise. Same thing with collabs. If Nike didn't do them, but Adidas did then you're essentially leaving the door open for...

I worked wit Leo on something around when FOG stuff had just dropped, and was able to speak wit him about working wit Jerry. He said he was super hands on with every detail, and that it wasn't like working with a lot of other collaborators where he was basically a ghost designer. And you can...

Extremely narrow view of Adidas. Sinking ship if were talking about niche hyped product, but no way that applies to their business as a whole. They basically own Europe. The perception of the brand over there is way different than it is in the states, and all this hyped limited product is...

Adidas is still much smaller than Nike revenue wise, like its always been, but still a multi-billion dollar international company. How they a sinking ship? The loyalty in Europe is way bigger than it is in America. When you say he doesn't have pull like that? What you mean? Genuinely...

Here's some sizing reference on player99 for those that still need it for a future pick up. I'm 6', 183..I usually wear Medium everything in ALD. Here's p99 in Medium on me, and then lined up next to the Molina Dunk in Medium. You can see its pretty much identical with the exception of the...

This ALD season been so good that I've been buying **** even though I got nowhere to rock it 😆 ...I thought I'd get a break then I saw that full sweatsuit in the Drake's collab

These measurements just can't be right. They make no sense. I have the Molina, and according to this the sleeves are 12in shorter in the same size. I emailed CS to make sure we're not getting screwed going with our regular sizes. I'll report back what they say.

If you love ALD, this was not the one to intervene on lol. I feel like this is one of those joints you can keep stashed and wear whenever without it losing its appeal. Just don't cop on the next drop SN: People without EA or store access can't just be out of luck. I hope they sat stock aside...

I got EA and copped with the quickness. I missed out on it the first time, and couldn't let that happen again. I ended up grabbing the olive/black. The grey is fire, but I like the red detail of the uniform and the OG blue definitely has holiday vibes. I'm hyped I finally got this piece!

Molina Dunk is so good I had to put my pride aside as a Bulls to fan to cop. Dope enough design that most people wouldn’t know what hoop moment it’s referencing anyway

how’s the fit though? mine just shipped. Won’t be in for a couple days

Came home to my Molina Dunk today, but wanted to share an actual fit pic since I haven't seen many. Everybody was saying the fit is relaxed, but I feel like it's TTS. I'm in a M at 175lb. I ordered out of FOMO, and after trying on I like it a lot more than I thought I would. Definitely a...

Pro tip for anybody else that ordered the Sonny Cardi with other stuff, ALD will not split your order and ship the other stuff separately unless you request it. I just did that by shooting CS an email, and now my other items are gonna ship within a couple of days.

I wish I knew ALD was gonna hold my entire Sonny order until the cream cardigan ships. I would’ve copped in two separate orders. Kinda crazy to make me wait 4-6 weeks on 3 other items just because of one thing.
